3/5. Philip Dodd goes to Middle America to meet those battling for the heart of Evangelical Christianity. He talks to those who believe that The Rapture - the Biblical prophecy that heralds the end of the world - is brought ever closer by the conflict in Iraq, and tracks their attempts to influence foreign policy in the Middle East.
But he also talks to Evangelicals who are pushing for a more earth-bound Christian activism, that cares as much about environmentalism as abortion, homosexuality and Armageddon.
